摘要

A comprehensive structural analysis of novel 2D-Mn2O3 under biaxial strain has been performed through density functional theory (DFT) approach. It is found as an indirect band gap magnetic semiconductor with a total spin magnetic moment of 16 µB per unit cell. The impact of tensile and compressive strains on the magnetic state and band gap of 2D-Mn2O3 has also been investigated. Our findings indicate that the band gap of 2D-Mn2O3 is highly influenced by both strains whereas its ground state remains unaffected. All these desired properties render 2D-Mn2O3 as a promising candidate for spintronics and memory-based devices.
